This may have been covered in another thread that I am not seeing, but how did everyone deal with checks that were made out to "Mr & Mrs <insert grooms name>? Since you cannot change your name until after the marriage license has been processed, do you wait to cash those? FI and I were talking about that last night and we were lost. LOL!
Thank you in advance for your answers!

We were able to cash ours right away. DH and I went to the bank with our ID's and our marriage license and explained the situation. They had us both sign the backs of the checks.

You can always sign it over to a third party (your mom or your FI it is is written out to you insert last name) and have them cash it or deposit it. Some banks allow you to deposit or cash them as long as you have your marriage lisence with you. It may also help if you have a joint account.

Most banks, check your bank to be sure, will take any check if you write "for deposit only" on the bank and deposit them in to one of your accounts.
After DD's wedding (the next day before they left for the honeymoon), DSIL took all the checks, used an ap on his iphone to deposit them all in to their checking account. They didn't even have to take them to the bank, neither had to sign. It was amazingly fast and they had a lot of checks - no, I don't know how much the total was. I just know he was sitting in an easy chair doing it while DD and DSIL's mom and I chatted.

Now, THAT is awesome. I have the same app on my phone for depositing and it is wonderful!
Thanks for all the good suggestions. :)

That app made me uneasy when I saw it - Hopefully people think to shred someone's check afterwards since it has the account number on it and if just tossed someone could try to use somehow. Just remember to shred them appropriately!

I bank with Chase and we had no issues cashing checks written out to mr. And mrs. . Some were written out to just him and I deposited them
Into my account no problem.

Good idea!! I was trying to think of a way to do this as well.

How long do you think it takes to process?
Your officiant turns in the signed marriage certificate on Monday after your wedding, and you'll get it back in 7 - 10 days... probably sooner than you'll be back from your HM, and you can go to the bank in the next couple of days after you get back.

Actually, the court system here is a bit on the slow side. Had a friend get married here recently and it took 3 1/2 weeks to get it back after it was turned in. And she was married at the courthouse. She had people asking if they had gotten her check since it hadn't been cashed. Hence my question to all of you :)
